Variations in Pronunciation

yup!

I’d say @PeterG sums it up perfectly. I get slightly strange looks from a Welsh-speaker in the office when I use the ‘proper’ mae, sut, blodau, etc. but most of the things that SSIW varies the sound of actually end up easier to pronounce the SSIW way - perhaps that’s why the language has evolved that way in the first place - a bit like one of mutation’s primary raison d’etre is to make pronouncing/speaking the language that much easier.

@mikeellwood, I use both. I love ‘dishgled’ because it brings a smile to my face as I remember how easy it was to remember the moment I learned it because it reminded me of ‘dish-cloth’. But then I use paned too. They seem perfectly interchangeable to me, somehow.
